209: Tianyuan, the ancestral home of the human race
The Gods Graveyard is located in the center of the Abyss, not below it, but suspended above it.
The Abyss is like a bottomless crack spanning the north and south of the continent.
The width of the Abyss is terrifying, reaching five percent of the universe's diameter, its length is the diameter of the universe, and its depth is unfathomable.
Not only that, but the Abyss is like a scar imprinted on the universe; as the universe grows, the Abyss also grows, always maintaining a fixed proportion.
There was once a Foundation Level early-stage existence that delved deep into the Abyss, trying to find its bottom, but that existence never returned, disappearing into the Abyss.
Subsequently, a Foundation Level late-stage existence followed the former's footsteps, attempting to explore the bottom of the Abyss, and met the same end.
Since then, exploring the bottom of the Abyss has become a taboo.
After all, a Foundation Level late-stage existence, almost standing at the pinnacle of the universe, could not leave the bottom of the Abyss alive; for other beings of lower realms to explore it again would simply be seeking death.
As for the reason for the Abyss's formation, there are many conjectures among the myriad races of the universe, with the most widely accepted being that it originated from a casual strike by a Transcendent Level being.
This conjecture is more reliable, as a Half-step Transcendent Level being cannot create the Abyss; only an immeasurable Transcendent Level being can.
To enter the Abyss, or to be suspended above it, one must at least be a God Ascension First Order cultivator, otherwise, they will be sucked into the Abyss by its terrifying suction.
The closer one gets to the center of the Abyss, the more terrifying the suction from below the Abyss becomes.
At the location of the Gods Graveyard in the center of the Abyss, one cannot withstand the suction and enter to explore without the cultivation of a Ninth Order Gods.
All beings exploring the Gods Graveyard are at least Ninth Order Gods; this is also why September waited until Lin Chen became a Ninth Order Gods before proposing to go to the Gods Graveyard.
However, ordinary Ninth Order Gods do not dare to explore the Gods Graveyard unless they have been stuck at Ninth Order Gods for too long, with no hope of Ascension to God, in which case they might risk entering the Gods Graveyard to seek a slim chance.
Currently, Lin Chen is at God Ascension Eighth Order, but this cultivation is superficial; treating him as a Lower God is sufficient, so the Abyss's suction will not have much impact on him.
As long as he does not court death by sinking into the Abyss, the danger of this exploration of the Gods Graveyard within the Abyss is not high.
The Abyss is still some distance from the Federation, and the Gods Graveyard within it also has some distance to reach.
So, just traveling will take Lin Chen and September two years, and the time to explore the Gods Graveyard is also uncertain; it could be one or two years, or even hundreds or thousands of years.
After all, the environment of the Gods Graveyard is complex, and opportunities are hidden extremely deep; acquiring them requires many trials.
Accompanying September to the Gods Graveyard naturally cannot be Lin Chen's main body; his main body would absolutely not take such a risk, so the only available clone is Mirror Lin Chen.
Blue Star, Lin Chen Dao Domain.
September had been waiting for a long time, mainly for the return of Mirror Lin Chen; she knew very well that Lin Chen's main body could not go to the Gods Graveyard to risk his life with her, nor could she take Lin Chen's main body to risk his life.
So, Mirror Lin Chen, who had returned to the Lin Chen Dao Domain and had his gains inventoried, had to go out again, without a moment's rest.
Mirror Lin Chen, on the other hand, had no issues.
He can cultivate anywhere; essentially, he is a spirit of a divine artifact, and as long as he does not need to be mentally focused, he is cultivating; at most, he does not cultivate as quickly as in a stable environment.
A spirit of a divine artifact, in charge of a divine artifact, is inherently a process of continuously developing the divine artifact's rules, with low requirements for the external environment.
To explore the Gods Graveyard and obtain the inheritance of a Time Main God, September had been preparing for a long time.
Originally, when she was at the Middle God level, she had a fifty percent chance of obtaining the Time Main God's inheritance.
Now she is an Upper God cultivator, and her Time God Kingdom has been forged, deepening her understanding of the power of time, giving her a sixty-five percent chance of acquiring the inheritance.
Now that she brought Lin Chen along, borrowing some of Lin Chen's human luck, the probability of obtaining the Time Main God's inheritance directly reached one hundred percent, guaranteeing the opportunity.
So, Lin Chen served as a human luck charm; after all, most of the enemies in the Gods Graveyard are Middle Gods and Upper Gods, so Lin Chen's combat power can be ignored.
"Sister September, my clone has returned; let him accompany you to acquire the opportunity."
"Who do you think I was waiting for, you scaredy-cat."
"I'm not scared; I'm cautious. Only by living can I create more; only by living do I have everything."
"No difference. Stay safe; I'm waiting for you to pull me up in the future. I also want to glimpse the scenery of the Foundation Level."
"Sister's demands are high, but they are not impossible to satisfy, but sister cannot freeload."
"You little imp, you're not honest."
"Sister, I'm a trickster; I don't need to be honest."
"Tsk, no more cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness?"
"Heh, what Path of Ruthlessness? I don't know anything."
Lin Chen indeed had a good impression of September; after all, September had firmly stood by his side several times, protecting him, but now is not the time to consider these things.
September also had no thoughts about this for now; she wanted to become stronger and glimpse the scenery of the Foundation Level.
Let's wait and see.
For a prodigy in a period of rapid cultivation growth, the interest in climbing the Dao path far surpassed matters between men and women; they all had firm Dao hearts.
The two no longer wasted words.
September put Mirror Lin Chen, who was beside her, into her Time God Kingdom.
She naturally saw that Mirror Lin Chen was always in a shallow cultivation state, not letting go of any free time to cultivate, so on the way to the Gods Graveyard, Mirror Lin Chen could cultivate in the Time God Kingdom.
When they arrived at the Gods Graveyard, she would pull Mirror Lin Chen out to use him as a human luck charm.
"I'm leaving. I hope I can make it to your Ascension to God banquet."
"Be careful; you don't need to push yourself so hard. When I grow up, I'll directly lead you to victory."
"Hehe, sister doesn't like to freeload."
September chuckled softly, tore through space, and left the Lin Chen Dao Domain.
Lin Chen watched September leave, very calmly.
Next, he still had a few things to deal with.
Since he returned to Blue Star, he naturally had to go home and reunite with his family.
He hadn't seen them in over twenty years and missed his grandparents; as for his father and mother, they were passionate, as if they had regained their youthful mindset.
After spending a few years reconstructing their bodies and souls, and quickly cultivating to the sixth order, they chose to leave the Lin Chen Dao Domain and go back to university to receive higher-level education.
Currently, their cultivation has reached the Half-God early stage, in the Guardian period, and they accurately estimated Lin Chen's return to Blue Star, taking leave to come home early.
After reuniting with his family and enjoying a few days of peaceful life.
Lin Chen began to get down to business.
He needed to go to the Human Ancestral Court to receive some of the inheritances belonging to the Human Race and join the Foundation Level sequence.
The Human Ancestral Court is located in the first Dao Accumulation Level Great World under the Human Race's control.
The Ancestral Court Great World was basically born with the Human Race, and it was the existence of the Ancestral Court Great World that allowed the Human Race to secretly nurture the first Foundation Level Human Race being, hidden from other super-large races.
It was precisely because of the birth of the first Foundation Level being that the Human Race was able to open the Void World, using the resources of the Void World to feed back the Human Race on Blue Star, gradually achieving a curve-overtaking and slowly gaining the status of a super-large race.
The Ancestral Court Great World contains all the inheritances of the Human Race and is the Human Race's sole core; Human Race members not recognized by human luck will not even know about the Ancestral Court Great World, and its confidentiality level is very high.
Even other super-large races are unaware that the Human Race's core is a Dao Accumulation Level Great World; they believe Blue Star is the Human Race's absolute core.
And the Human Race is happy to mislead other super-large races, making them focus their attention on Blue Star, thereby overlooking the Ancestral Court Great World, the true core.
Entering the Ancestral Court Great World requires passing various verifications.
Lin Chen easily passed the verifications and obtained entry permission.
The moment he entered the Ancestral Court Great World, the Alliance Leader and Lin Wufa were already waiting for his arrival.
"Child, the true secret belonging to the Human Race, it's time for you to know it."
